There are two parts to gccxml.

1.) The patched GCC parser to perform the dump
2.) The front-end which simulates native compilers

I cannot say for sure that #1 will never be in gcc upstream, but #2 will
not.  The #2 part has a whole bunch of compatibility patches for system
headers of native compilers from many different vendors.  It allows the
GCC compiler to read the system header files from these other compilers.
 This is needed so that the dumped interface exactly matches what the
user's compiler would see.
